In my personal opinion, you should not focus on frames per second - but rather on your screen's refresh rate. The real frames per second you see are those your gear can show you, not render. Set frame limiter to exact ammount as your display allows and try to run it. Unnecesarily big ammount of fps may lead the display to simply ignore the frames it cant process. Such mismatch may lead to lost frames in big ammounts.

Disabling the intel drivers did give me more fps, but i couldn't have access to the nvidia control panel anymore because it said there was no monitor connected to a nvidia gpu. I think this has something to do with windows 10 and optimus, which chooses the graphics card more appropriate for each situation. I guess it doesn't recognize osu as a program worthy of using the nvidia card... The best solution i saw to this problem is switching to windows 7, but i'm not doing that...

While in most games this works, if they set their FPS to their refresh rate, they will more than likely be locked at 60fps, which is ~16ms in frame times. That 16ms isnt a problem in most games, but Osu however benefits in having lower frame times. Lower frame times mean that the cursor updates more frequently.

Ok, well i would try going on the Nvidia website and downloading the auto-detector. I may have linked you the incorrect drivers. The auto-detector will get you the right Drivers for your system. If that still fails, I would suggest reinstalling windows. The laptop is new so you shouldnt be loosing much data, but if that is still an issue then you could partition your drive so that one section is for windows and the other is for your data.

Have you tried replacing your drivers and other components of you laptop? Try that.
If it isn't working, try windowed mode. I use it alot.
If none of these work, please PM me on the website, thanks, and have a good day!

Basically osu support told me everything is fine with the game and the problem must come from somewhere else.So I went and spoke with the nvidia support, tried a lot of things, nothing fixed it, they don't know what's causing it either and told me it should be a problem with the game.

- It could be a problem related to windows 10, but since it only seems to occur on laptops, i guess that's not the answer.- Other thing i read about is nvidia optimus, the game could have some problems with it, i dunno, and the nvidia support said that if that's the case then the devs should be able to fix it.

I'm honestly tired of this, around 2 years performance problems on osu!, i love this game but i just can't play it anymore.

Devs please there are a lot of people with this problem, at least try to fix it, because it looks like you're not giving a shit.

also, with the newest nvidia driver update (399.07), it decreased even more my fps, i can't even get more than 200 now

Try to install LTSB windows, i have in this lower frametime(my first run was crashed but when i did disable dpi scalling in compatibility settings osu start run), but get the same problem when install last windows, also laptop, and as i know its general problem of new laptops.
